I thought HTMX was a joke, but they’re serious.
I am serious
Listen. I just don’t like that they replaced glass with TV screens that show what’s behind
They fucking what now?
They replaced glass with screens that show what they think the product is.
In stores run by the particularly stupid.
The screens are there to play ads sometimes, and if you get there while an ad is playing, you either have to know the store and remember which screen the thing you want is behind, or you have to wait until the ad is over. Or you can go open every door until you find what you want. I prefer the latter because it makes the company have to pay more to cool their drinks.
If enough people do it enough, maybe it’ll negate the advertising profits.
Svelte my man, I barely have to read the docs, just guess how things should be done because that’s how it would work in vanilla JS, and most often it just works.
Been a react dev for about 4 years now, I’ve heard good things about Svelte. But like from a career perspective would it be worth the switch now?
From a career perspective using it enough to know whether you’d like to or be willing to work with it in the future is probably enough. Then when you’re looking you know whether you want to apply for jobs focused on it.
On that topic I’ve been on the market and haven’t seen Svelte mentioned a single time when searching, granted I’ve probably only looked at a couple hundred listings (most being WFH).
I personally don’t like the htmx style of coding. It often feels like having to explain what I want to do to someone else using only a limited set of custom words, instead of just doing it myself.
I understand you but for me it’s the opposite I am not bound to using js for everything and can just return html from the server like I want. Also everything else still works I can write js if I want to. Htmx gives me more words I can use in html not less. Also I can manage the state via the url and the server. In other frameworks I often had the problem that I was writing the same logic twice in backend and frontend.
